I would ask everyone to read this story from today, and think about it in the full context of this thread:

McCain, RNC Advertise Intent to Spend ‘Millions More’ on Stem Cell Research

(CNSNews.com) - Sen. John McCain’s Republican presidential campaign and the Republican National Committee released a radio ad yesterday advertising McCain’s intention to join with his “Congressional allies” in spending millions in additional tax dollars on stem cell research.

The language of the ad makes no distinction between research on adult stem cells or research on stem cells taken from human embryos that are destroyed in the process.

Tell McCain how you feel about embryonic stem cell research:

John McCain 703-418-2008 and http://www.johnmccain.com/Contact/

[fetal heart beats by 21st day]

Are we talking adult stem cells or Embryonic stem cells?

[Vigilanteman]

The language of the ad makes no distinction between research on adult stem cells or research on stem cells taken from human embryos . . .

When is the last time the enemedia made such a distinction? How many of the sheeple understand the distinction? This ad might be rope-a-dope strategy to bring the donks out to counter how little the Republicans have done for ineffective, non-productive embryonic stem cell research.

The add does not make the distinction between embryonic and other stem cells, while the platform does. I can only hope that he will stick to the platform.

Not only is the platform morally right but it is scientifically sound. As far as I know no medically effective treatment or therapy has been derived from embryonic stem cells while adult stem cells, placenta and umbilical cord blood derived stem cells are currently being used in over 70 proven and effective therapies.
